Dendrite Clinical Systems and the Society for Cardiothoracic Surgery in the UK are pleased to announce the SCTS Conference News 2022 newspaper is now available to view/download. The newspaper reports a multitude of presentations from the meeting including the latest and the best information on new technologies and techniques in cardio-thoracic surgery.
Researchers led by the Clinical Research Unit at the Special Unit for Biomedical Research and Education (SUBRE), Aristotle University of Thessaloniki School of Medicine, Greece, have initiated a randomised control trial (RCT) that will compare minimally invasive extracorporeal circulation (MiECC) with conventional cardiopulmonary bypass (cCPB).
Dendrite Clinical Systems, working in close cooperation with the SCTS and several cardiac centres, has developed a series of ‘Dashboards’ that allow users to access to their unit’s surgical outcomes and compare them to national results in real-time. By uploading their data to the central Dendrite National Cardiac Surgical Registry, individual units or centres can instantly benchmark their results via an on-line database for internal consumption to assist units with their own clinical governance and for auditing purposes.
Dendrite Clinical Systems is delighted to announce the first ever report from New Zealand’s Te Rēhita Mate Ūtaetae - Breast Cancer Foundation National Register. The ground-breaking report, titled, “30,000 voices: Informing a better future for breast cancer in New Zealand,” covers 30,000 patients diagnosed from 2003 to 2019.
The European Society for Organ Transplantation (ESOT) has signed an agreement to develop a series of web-based registries on organ 
Dendrite and UK research groups launch MASCOT Registry
Dendrite Clinical Systems – in collaboration with Haemotology Cancer Care (UCLH Charity), the Royal Free Charity, HaemSTAR (an organisation researching non-malignant haematology) and MPN Voice – have launched the MASCOT (Myeloproliferative Neoplasm Splanchnic Vein Thrombosis, MPN-SVT) Registry, a UK wide registry for patients with myeloproliferative diseases suffering from splanchnic or abdominal vein thrombosis.
Myeloproliferative neoplasms are a group of hematopoietic stem cell disorders characterised by clonal proliferation of myeloid-lineage cells. Arterial and venous thromboses are a major cause of morbidity in Ph-negative MPNs. Venous thrombosis may occur at unusual anatomic sites, such as splanchnic vein thrombosis or cerebral sinus thrombosis. SVT refers to thrombosis formation in the portal venous system (portal vein thrombosis, PVT), hepatic venous system Budd-Chiari syndrome (BCS), splenic venous system or mesenteric venous system1.
This prospective web-based patient registry that will collect, record and analyse the treatment and outcomes of patients with this condition.
“We are delighted to launch the MASCOT Registry,” said Dr Peter Walton, Managing Director of Dendrite Clinical Systems. “Myeloproliferative neoplasms are the most common underlying prothrombotic disorder found in patients with splanchnic vein thrombosis and the registry will provide valuable information on how to manage this prothrombotic disorder.
To better understand current practice, this online registry was developed by Dendrite using their “Intellect Web” software. This allows users to enter patient data online, using a range of modern html-5 compatible web browsers, without the need to install additional software or perform any complex system configurations.
